Spencer Kauffman: Interview
At the last couple of races AZDirt has been at, we have been watching the highly stacked Jr. Class and one of the kids who has been on fire is Spencer Kauffman. He has been taking home wins left and right. I knew I had to find him and get the down low on him and his plans. I was able to catch up with Spencer and his Dad after the Payson race; this is was what I was able to get out of the both of them.
So give me a run down?
My name is Spencer Kauffman, I’m 15 years old and I’m from Fountain Hills, Arizona. I ride the 125 Jr and School Boy class on the number 142 Yamaha.
You have been on fire in the Jr. Class lately, what is your racing past been like?
I have been on a big bike since the beginning of the last Summer. Before that I was on an 85 and won some beginner races and was moved up to age after that.
Wait how long have you been riding?
I have only been riding for about 4 years now.
That’s cool. So do you train? What is your schedule like for riding and training?
I do a lot of in-the-gym work and I have a track right at my house that I use a lot.
You did World Mini recently. How did you do up there?
I crashed a lot, but I think I ended up 12th overall in Jr.
What are your plans for the rest of the year?
First, probably move up to 125 Int. after the last CMC Copperstate Classic. Also, we have a house up in Colorado and I think we are going to be up there for a while training and riding.
Intermediate huh?
Yup!
So this is more than a weekend adventure for you?
Ya, I would really like to go pro some day and try to make something out of it.
Who helps you out with everything?
Well I do all my bike work and my Dad brings me to the races and helps me with my gate and everything.
Well, it sounds like you are on the right track here! I would say Good Luck but I don’t think you will need it.
Thanks!

Kyle Dearing: Interview
If you haven’t met little Kyle Dearing yet, which pretty much everyone has, as he makes his presence known on and off the track. Kyle is taking a step back this year from being so serious with all the sponsors and the racing drama to see if it will help him take off the stress. So far it seems to be working as he is leading the series in all of his classes in the CMC Copperstate Classic. We were able to catch up with Kyle for an interview and this is what we were able to get out of him.
So give me a rundown?
My name is Kyle Dearing, I’m 10 years old, my number is 99, and I live in Litchfield Park, Arizona.
What classes do you ride?
I ride 65 10-11 mod and stock.
Have you hit up any nationals this year?
Yes, we did World Mini and Amateur Open.
How did that go?
In my run offs I finished 15th in 65 10-11 Stock, 18th 65 10-11 Mod, and 21st 65 Open at World Mini. I took a 6th and 9th at Amateur Open.
Do you plan on doing any more nationals?
I wish I could, but right now it just doesn’t look like we will be able to.
So how has the series been so far?
Pretty good. I’m leading all my classes and I hope to take the overall tonight.
What are your plans to do with your prizes when you win?
I hope I win two bicycles so I can go trade them in for one really good one.
So it sounds like you have it all figured out?
Yup!
What if they don’t give you a bicycle and its something else?
I don’t know what I’ll do, but I know I would be really bummed!
Thanks Kyle for the interview, anything you would like to thank?
I want to thank my Mom and Dad; they do so much for me along with my Grandpa. He helps me with everything too. Bill Shugg, Dearing Trucking, TSR Contracting, Bent Clothing, AZDirt.com, and all of my other sponsors that I can’t remember right now thank you so much.

Now over to Worm-
Thursday:
We started off on our way to Vegas for the final round of the Supercross series, traveling with Chris Blose a local pro this was going to be an interesting weekend. Leaving on Thursday at 11:00AM we headed out to Las Vegas, we arrived at 4:30PM, we checked in to our hotel the Orleans were the 2008 Mini Moto Supercross was going on. Chris was competing in the Mini Moto with bike supplied by SSR Motorsports based out of china. Showing up Chris was concerned about his bike that he was riding, but his mind would quickly change after being able to swing a leg over the bike. The bike looked amazing! Michael (Chris’s Brother) showed up later so we headed out for a bit to eat with him. We then headed out to Sam Boyd Stadium to check in with everyone and then headed back to the hotel to get a good night sleep for Mini Moto the next day.
Friday:
We woke up to a beautiful day in the Sin City were we grabbed breakfast and headed out to Mini Moto. Chris started out with his 10-inch class were he was getting use to the bike; the 12-inch Chris had would have some issues with the brakes. Michael aboard his Red Baron bikes was looking great and looking forward to regaining his Mini Moto 10-inch championship back! Qualifiers: Mike came out with a great start and ended up taking the win in both 10-inch and 12-inch. Chris also took the start and would go on to win both 10 and 12-inch. The Crowed was ready for a brother show down!
Mains: Mike and Chris got out to a great start in the 10-inch with Mike in 2nd and Chris in 3rd, but later on Chris had a miss hap and fell, Mike held on and would finish 2nd. The 12-inch class started out with Chris getting a fairly good start with Mike in the back of the pack, Chris ended up getting taken out and would fall towards the back of the pack, Mike would came back to get a respectable 5th place.
Saturday:
It was a new day for the Blose Brothers, tonight was the 2008 East Coast West Coast Shoot Out. Chris and Mike had a difficult practice, with the track as wet as it was even RV had some spills. Practice 2 would be different Mike and Chris riding very well, except Chris didn’t seem to think he had a groove with this track. The West Coast qualifier class was stacked, Mike and Chris both had bad gate picks, and that led them to a difficult heat race were nether would qualify. The LCQ was very interesting, Mike and Chris had a good start and Chris worked his way in to 5th, but could not take over the 4th place position due to casing a jump, Mike was not far behind but both wouldn’t make it to the main.
Mike and Chris rode great and as hard as they could. They are looking forward to the first Outdoor National that will be held at Glen Helen on May 25th.
Overall Vegas was very action packed and interesting, I’m look forward to Glen Helen and the Great Outdoors, until them, see you at the races!
